Auditors
The course department will determine the audit policy for each class. Please be aware that, in some cases, permission to audit a class will not be granted (see notes below).
Any student enrolling in all classes as an auditor (i.e., not taking any classes for credit) must obtain a registration form from the Office of the Registrar-- Franklin Hall 101, on or after the first day of classes. The student must then obtain an audit authorization memo from each course department before reporting to the registration center during the first week of classes. NOTE: After the first week of classes, a late registration fee will be assessed.
Any student enrolling in one or more classes for credit and wishing to enroll as an auditor in additional classes, must obtain an audit authorization memo from the course department. The authorization must be received in the Office of the Registrar before registration.
NOTE: Classes taken for no credit (audit) are not counted as completed academic credit but are reflected on the student's grade report and the official permanent academic record with a grade of NC (no credit). Audit classes are also excluded from consideration for official IU certification purposes.
NOTE: Kelley School of Business undergraduate classes are not available for audit enrollment.
Independent Study by Correspondence
With permission from their dean, IU degree-seeking students have the option of taking distance education classes through the Independent Study Program. For further information about available classes, students may consult the Independent Study University Courses catalog, available in Owen Hall 005, by calling 855-2292, or by visiting the School of Continuing Studies web site at scs.indiana.edu.
Enrollment Procedure
Students should obtain an enrollment form from the School of Continuing Studies, Office of Learner Services, Owen Hall 005. The form must be signed by the dean of the student's school. Completed forms should then be returned to Owen Hall 005 where students will pay their fees and receive course materials.
NOTE: Independent Study courses will not be considered for eligibility for full-time or half-time status when an official IU certification is requested.
Special Information for Doctoral Students
Students who have completed all requirements for the doctorate except the dissertation and final examination are required to register for at least one hour of graduate credit each first and second semester at the applicable resident or non-resident rate.
Students who enroll in one hour of thesis credit will be considered full-time students for certification purposes by the Office of the Registrar.
In addition, students who plan to complete the degree requirements during a summer session must enroll for that session in at least one hour of graduate credit. Students should contact their schools or divisions for specific details.
Student Teacher Registration
Student teaching assignments are made by the Office of Student Teaching in the School of Education. Because students who participate in student teaching receive academic credit, it is necessary to register for this program as a student would for any other class.
Some student teaching and practicum classes may require permission/authorization. Contact Education Student Services (856-8500) for additional information.
